PRINTED AT LAST.


After a good deal of demurring Mr..
Egbert B. Grandin, the publishes of The
Wayne Sentinel, contracted to do the
printing. An edition of 5000 copies was
ordered. The price agreed upon was
S, 900. Harris pied ging himself to pay
the money. 1t happened that at that time
the leading compositor in Mr.. Grandin's
office was Mr. John H. Gilbert. Mr.. Gil
bert, or, as he is now called, Maj. Gilbert,
is to-day hale man Of IS years. 1t was
our good fortune to meet him and have a
long talk about the early days Of Nor
monism. He had the chief operative trust
Of the typesetting and presswork. He
got out the first form There were in all
58S pages o. the bible, and of these Gil
bert set up with his own hands over 500.
The original instructions were that no
alterations whatever from the copy were
to be made. But under Gilbert's earnest
protestations these instructions were re-
scinded. Cowdery, though q tolerable
penman, was poor in syntax, orthography,
punctuation, etc. The copy furnished him,
Mr. Gilbert assured us, was solid mass.
There was no punctuation, very few
capitals, NJ paragraphs.

brought the copy to the Office every morn
ing, in installments of twentyfour pages,
buttoned up in his vest, and came for
them at night. Bat after much friendly
expostulation Smith in about ten days re-
laxed his vigilance, and permitted Gill
bert to take the manuscript home to cor
rect and punctuate. This was on Gill
bert's word that he would be responsible
for the copy. Grandin read most Of the
proof: Gilbert read the rest. The con-
tract price Of the printing was faithfully
paid by Harris. David Whitmer, who
now lives in Richmond, Mo-, has the
original manuscript. A man living in
Williamson, Wayne county, N. Y, has
the press on which the book was printed.
The book was seven months in printing

$780,
Mr. Gilbert has one copy of the orig

has never been bound, but is in loos"
leaves. He has been offered 500 for 1t.
but wants $500. He thinks it ought to
be procured for the library at Washing

The character of q person is de.
yeloped largely by his reading, if he
reads at all. If he has an aptitude in
any special direction, quite naturally
his reading will he of the kind most
suited to his peculiar bent of mind.
Every parent should study the
characteristics of his children, and
help to such reading as will most
practically assist them in developing
their capabilities. The farmer should
put before such of his boys as are in
clined to work on the farm, good ag-
ricultural papers-not those with
theories which he knows to be i'm
practicable, but common-sense papers
which are edited from q practical
standpoint and are for practical men.
The boy who reads such paper will
become interested in it, because it
treats of the work and the daily life
going on about him-the work and
the life he knows most about. When.
ever he reads of new methods ofdoing
things he will compare them with
which he is familiar, and the best
method is the one he will follow,
be it the new or the old. The paper
will SOW seed for thoughts in his
mind, and what boy needs, is to be
set to thinking. He does not require
to have his ideas thought out for him
by some one else, If you encourage
him to be his own thinker. A good
paper, which deals with the problems

FINANCE.

An intermediate financial state
ment will shortly appear from the
Finance Office. 1t will show the
money transactions of the govern
ment for the five months preceding
the 30th of June last, SO far as it is
possible to ascertain them, and also
the condition of finances OF the
country at that date. Information
concerning the loan transactions, the
cable, the navy, and, in fact, all of
the finance matters which the people
wish to know about, will thus be
given to the public. The statement
will be published in pamphlet form.
His Elk. w. L. Green has made a
careful study Of loan matters, and
has sent his views at length on their
proper adjustment to Mr.. Arm
strong, as representative of the
Syndicate, by the mail which left to-
day. If the people will have patience
until the financial statement mention
ed above is out, they can get fuller in
formation on all of these subjects
than it is possible to give them al

excuse for troubling you about the
Saturday half holiday. Can you
not help us to obtain it? There
are great number of men in Homo
lulu who would consider it a great
boon-men who are kept at work at
the desk, counter, bench, or anvil
the year round. A continual grind
with no relaxation, except what some
of them find evenings in the billiard
saloons or at card tables. Now

They need relief. Cannot some Of
our legislators come to the rescue
with plan for relieving them OF
some of this work and responsible

the Cabinet, permanance Of official
positions, succession in offices and
promotion for merit, removal for

meet his accusers face to face, and
the adaptation of the system to

While it is not q perfect document,
in this respect, it certainly marks q
great advance. This is a step in
line with the worlds progress. No
new principle was involved. If the
government is good, henceforth, it
will be good because the people
manage their own affairs well. If
it is not good, it will be because
they fail TO do so. The people will
not regret their action even if they
fail TO get satisfactory government

THE BLUE JACKETS ENTERTAINED AT
THE Y. M. G. q.

Last evening an entertainment
was arranged at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Hall, for the special benefit of the
sailors of II. B. NJ. S. Conquest and
U. S. S. Adams. There was a
goodly number present from each
ship, and a large sprinkling of
Honolulu society in addition. Mr..
G.. M. Cooke conducted the pro-
ceedings, and announced that Mr..
p. c. Jones would give the opening
address. The appearance of Mr..
Jones on the platform was signal
for round of loud applause. He
made a brief, humorous and inter-
estng address, extending hear y
welcome to the men of the Adams
and Conquest. He directed their
special attention to the words over
the door of the building, viz. "Y.
M. G. A." Various interpretations
had been put upon these initials by
different gentlemen, the captain of
British man-of-war constituting
them to stand for "Ye Men of Con-
stance, Ahoy," while another gen
tIeman asserted that, they stood
for Young Mems Climbing Asso-
ciation," inasmuch as one of the
prominent officers of the Associa-
ton had shown a great proclivity
for climbing garden walls. (Laugh-
ter.)
Miss Jennie Grieve opened the
programme proper by singing with
pleasing effect the song, when
the Heart is Young" Her charm
ing voice filled the hall with music
and caused a loud outburst of APP
plause.
W. PasseI, of the Conquest, next
sang, "'The Sea is England's
Glory" his shipmates joining in
the chorus. He sang in excellent
style, and was loudly applauded.
Miss Addie Peterson gave reci-
tation, entitled Jimmy Butler and
the OWL" in very pleasing man
ner. She was enoored but did not
respond.
Francis Goose, Of the Adams,
next appeared and sang in capital
style "The Fisherman's Child"
The Rev. H.. III. Gowen then pro-
ceeded to give his allotted five
minutes address, which by the cour-
tesy of Mr.. P. G. Jones had been
extended to y minutes, but as Mr..
Governs watch had stopped he
asked that if he exceeded his time,
be might be pulled down by the
coat tails by the gentleman behind
him. He selected the word equity"
and elaborated on it in cry in
teresting manner.

BED ROCK.
present,

In the midst of the discussion of
the late political movement and its re-
sui S, men seem to forget the lines
upon which that movement was
made and, especially, the principles
which it represented. Good govern
ment, economy, honesty, and capa-
city in office are all good but it was
not for these that men took their
lives in their hands and staked all
on success. 1t is said that when you
touch an Anglo-Saxon's pocket, you
reach his heart. There is truth in
this old statement. But he who
deems this proof that the great poll
teal movements which have been
precipitated by touching the Anglo
Saxon's pocket are the results of
avarice, comes wide of the truth.
"All that man hath will he give
for his life." Men do not risk this
most valued possession simply for
the sake of adding small percent
age to their wealth. The key to this
connection between the pocket and
the heart, is the fact that when a
mans pocket is touched, he sees the
injustice and feels the imposition.
And submission to an imposition is
revolving to his feelings.
Coming down to bed rock, this is
the explanation of the late revolu-
ton. The axiom that all men
are created with equal rights was
not adequately recognized. The
people arose and demanded that their
rights be more fully accorded 10
them. AS the Government is for the
people, they demanded that they be
allowed TO manage their own bust
ness. The new Constitution was in
tended as a security for their rights.

A SUGGESTION.


So much has been said in the
columns of the BULLETIN about the
civil service of this country that
anything further seems to require
an Introductory apology. The only
apology offered for again taking up
the subject, is the fact that one
phase of it has not been set forth
plainly in these columns nor in the
columns of any other paper of this
city. 1t is all very well to talk
about stability in the service and
the appointment of the ablest men
to the various offices, but some de-
finite plan is needed for carrying
out these ideas. This paper has re-
cognized the fact that the men now
in power at Aliiolani Hale have a
heavy pressure to resist, in holding
on to an honest and good policy
in this regard. And in this they do
not stand alone. Nor is this state
of things confined to this country.
Our readers will remember what a
revelation power brought with it to
the late President Garfield, and his
views with regard to the necessity
for relieving the Executive of such
burden in the choice of capable
officers and picking out and remov-
ing incompetents. A move has been
made in this direction in the United
States. The problem was well nigh
solved in England long ago. Many
of her colonies have followed the
example of the mother country. A
move in the way of systematizing
the civil service, on the part of Ha-
wall, would simply be in keeping
with the spirit of these times.
At present the whole responsible

THE ELEMENTS or GREATNESS.

Hawaii has within herself the
elements which auger infinitely
greater importance IN her future
than in her past and present. Salu-
brity of climate and remarkable
productiveness of soil, lying waste,
will in time gain for these islands a
prominence as yet but little thought
Of. Waste and mismanagement,
schemes of corruption and pecula-
ton have not obliterated the latent
possibilities of the country; only
obscured them. For n long period
the diminutive nation floated down
the stream Of fallacious expedicnts,
guided by the miserable contrivance
of q brainless despotism. A halt
has been called in a policy which
directed TO ruin. Vitality still re-
mains. Our energies are not wholly
crushed. The people are not utterly
discouraged. Time and liberal
policy, supported by a united and
determined people, will sweep away
the blighting influences of past mis-
rule: recovery may be hoped for;
and a steady development of latent
resources, will steadily raise the
country to higher positions in the
scale of nation,.
